Answer:

8 two-point shots,

4 three-point shots

Step-by-step explanation:

let 'x' = 2-pt shots

let 'y' = 3-pt shots

system of equations can be used as follows:

x + y = 12

2x + 3y = 28

if we solve for 'y' we get 'y = 12-x'

use '12-x' instead of 'y' in the equation 2x + 3y = 28 to solve for 'x':

2x + 3(12-x) = 28

2x + 36 - 3x = 28

-x + 36 = 28

-x = -8

x = 8

if x+y = 12, then y = 4
